The Prowler: Hero or Villian?

My comic book knowledge is close to zero so I was surprised when reading prowlers description that he is tagged as a hero. Obviously in the spider verse movies he’s uncle Aaron and works for kingpin. But I’m curious, does anyone have more knowledge about the prowlers comic book origin? Is this a Hobie that never turned into spider-punk?

Prowler started as a villain but recent 616 comic appearances paint him more as a hero who works with Spider-Man rather than against him.

He's hero in the game cuz of the story when he and SP was introduced, Kabam said due to their close relationship with Marvel they were able to tweak it a bit for the game

This version is a hero, the Aaron davis version is not really

I find it fascinating on how they classify villains turned as heros in game.

Prowler and emma for example, are classified as hero, whereas champs like ghost are still classified as villains.

Because the version of ghost in the game is a villain?

Black cat should also be villain but hey ho. Prowler from the miles morales comics is 100 percent a villain in my books, he always redeems himself then does something stupid to categorise himself as a villain again 🙄 😒 😑

Also red cyclops is a villain and nothing you can say can change that. He is literally canonically labelled a person who inspires terror iykyk

Hero is a very big statement, and also you need to remember that she was in the game before the film came out. She's the villain of the film, hence she's a villain in the game. Her becoming slightly less evil doesn't make her a hero

There's more than one version of Prowler.

Hobie Brown from the 616 is a reformed villain, much like Quicksilver, Black Widow and Hawkeye.
Ultimate Prowler from Earth 1610 is a villain.
The Spider-Verse version of Aaron is a villain but has redeeming qualities. The comic version is just an outright a-hole.

Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp isn't a villain. She's the antagonist, to the eponymous characters' protagonists. There's a difference. Villains are outright bad guys. Antagonists are characters who work in opposition to the protagonists without necessarily being bad guys or "evil". It's like how in The Mandalorian, Mando gets into that dogfight and chase with the X-Wings in the episode with Frog Lady. That doesn't make the X-Wing pilots villains, they're just antagonists. Another example would be how in the 1980s GI Joe comics, GI Joe are the good guys, Cobra are the bad guys and the Oktober Guard from the Warsaw Pact nations are antagonists because they're working against Cobra, but also against the Joes, but are never depicted as evil.
